Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 24.10A
Avoidable Consequences
[Defendant] claims that [he she it] should not be required to pay damages to [plaintiff] because [plaintiff] could have avoided the losses that [he she it] is claiming.
[Plaintiff] is not entitled to be paid for a loss if [he she it] could have avoided the loss by making reasonable efforts and without undue risk, hardship or embarrassment.
If you decide that it is more likely true than not true that [plaintiff] could have avoided a loss by making reasonable efforts and without undue risk, hardship or embarrassment, you may not require [defendant] to pay for that loss. Do not include any such amounts in an award of damages to [plaintiff].
